An opinion column by Ephraim Ganor comparing the possibility of a Netanyahu-Eizenkot unity government to the Shamir-Peres government from 42 years ago, and determining that the gaps and lack of trust between the two are too great to bridge.

An opinion column by Ephraim Ganor comparing the possibility of a Netanyahu-Eizenkot unity government to the Shamir-Peres government from 42 years ago. The author argues that while the Shamir-Peres government managed to overcome deep disagreements and stabilize the economy, the current reality is completely different. Between Netanyahu and Eizenkot there is personal distrust and deep disagreements that cannot be bridged by a rotation agreement. The author emphasizes that a unity government must be based on genuine agreement on principles, not on a division of roles, and that the internal hatred and rift among the people of Israel are more severe than those of 42 years ago.
